Description
'... Fran�ois Morissette is an island onto himself. A lone wolf with some crazy ideas that manifest themselves in the wines that he makes. You either dig them, or you don't. And a lot don't ... In his early 20s, Morissette spent a year working in Saint-Romain, Burgundy at Domaine Alain Gras. Discovering the traditional vigneron trade was a turning point for him. In Canada, he moved forward as a sommelier and developed some of Quebec and Ontario's most progressive wine programs. In 2000, his passion for wine and the desire to cultivate led him back to France. He spent seven vintages of full-time grape growing in the C�te D'Or, Burgundy. From Fr�d�ric Mugnier in Chambolle Musigny, Christian Gouges of Domaine Henri Gouges in Nuits-Saint-Georges and Domaine Roulot in Meursault, he learned traditional approaches in viticulture and winemaking on exceptional Grand Cru terroirs. Since 2007, Morissette has been committed to honouring the Niagara environment ... he crafts his wines from vin

Tasting Notes
Earth and dried leaves with sour cherry tones on the nose. Vibrant and savoury with great tannic support and a long, meaty finish. (VINTAGES panel, Jan. 2016)
